Soil, importance
Soil is a non-renewable resource that all life depends on for resources and is crucial for supporting the world's growing population, but soil degradation from erosion, pollution, desertification and other factors is reducing the amount of arable land and putting more stress on global food systems. Proper soil management is needed to protect this thin layer of material that supplies plants and animals with nutrients and maintains environmental quality.
